The MTA is no longer tracking mask wearing compliance, but the rules haven't changed at all.

Masks are still required on subways, buses and all indoor stations, but according to the transit agency's website, the last actual survey of usage was in April.

That's when the federal government stopped enforcing masks at airports, on planes and trains.

Gov. Kathy Hochul has kept the face-covering requirement in place for public transit in New York.
